I see that there'd been some chatter but not a lot of discussion about
a GROUP BY ALL feature/functionality.  There certainly is utility in
such a construct IMHO.

Still need some docs; just throwing this out there and getting some feedback.


I strongly dislike adding this feature.  I'd only consider supporting it if it was part of the SQL standard.

Code is written once and read many times.  This feature caters to the writer, not the reader.  And furthermore usage of this is prone to be to the writer's detriment as well.
